Found this pic of the latest accessory for the Cerb....

...a periscope:



or maybe the caption should be: The factory's efforts to cool the Cerbera cabin using a ram air system, wasn't as popular as expected.

Sorry Olly, couldn't resist. smile Did you take these pics today? I can't read the signpost and don't recognise the location. scratchchin

TVR's efforts to match paint colours on prototypes were always somewhat lacksadaisical...

Gives a LOVELY breeze in the cabin though ! wink

Pics taken here on the way back from Sainsburys. The mis-fire was starting to clear, so took it for a bit of a run. The mis-fire has now gone, but I'm 75% sure it's now overfueling, as I'm getting pops & bangs at 30mph in 3rd & it's AWFUL trying to hold any revs in any gear grumpy
(wind it up or constantly change the revs & it's fantastic !)

Andy (APM) - PLEASE reply to my mail ! frowntype

Olly, phone Andy, he doesn't answer emails, I know as I've sent him a couple but resorted to phoning. Only to be told that my head is skimmed within and inch of it's life, 68mm as opposed to 71mm, and that copper gasget's may be needed at £160 a pop, plus we haven't sourced a matching head yet. cry

Anyway, back to Andy, phone his mobile, as he always seems to have it on him.

We can always trailer your car back next week to let Andy see if first hand if need be.

Are there any 'odd' figures when you plug the laptop in, if it's overfueling the adaptives won't be able to cope and there will be an error logged.

Lets put our heads together in the next few days if the problem persists and Andy doesn't come up with the answer.

Tim

PS: Can't take credit for the Photo, it's all Olly's own work. biggrin

I'm sure Andy's got it covered but be careful that the timimg chain can be properly tensioned and cover still fits thumbup.
What compression are you having confused

God knows harry, the problem is I have an 'odd' pair of heads, so need to find a matching head.

Ported and skimmed would be ideal, just waiting for Dom @ TVRPower to let Andy know if they have a suitable head.
